Can fat transfer hide malar bag lumps caused by hyaluronic acid that was injected 7 years ago, or PRF or Sculptra? (Photo)

March 7, 2023
Asked By:Yas6426 in Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines

Hi, I had 3 sessions of sciton skintite procedure 10 years ago each session 2 weeks apart, done by family friend who was not a doctor. Result was major fat loss and veins showing on face. Not looking like myself. Then I tried 1/2 syringe of hyaluronic acid to try fill again cheeks a little will left malar lumps even 7 years later that were not there before injection. Question.. can I use fat injection or sculptra or prf to disguise filler lumps without dissolving them first? Which is best?
